August 18, 2008 Trip to Little Saganaga Lake

This week, our son, Adam, and I along with two friends made a three day trip into Little Saganaga Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We planned the trip during the full moon. The clear conditions made for awesome moonrises.

We had a great campsite on Gillis Lake with an open site line to the east allowing views of the moon throughout the evening. It is pretty hard to find something more enjoyable than canoeing by moonlight while loons are calling to each other from across the lake.
